Title: Schopes 5 pin binder wiring information and help??
Post by: timP on May 19, 2008, 10:57:50 PM

I am going to wire my extra mk46 cables to the schopes 5 pin binder,  hoping to use a lemosax preamp, with the 5 pin binder connection, to run my AKG ck1x caps.


Does anyone know where I could find some Schoepsschematics or even better had some experience wiring similiar connections


thanks!

although i don't know the pinout,  the connectors are very easy to work with.  the K5i extension cable is a straight thru cable.  mine came with a wire crossed and was a 5 minute fix to re-do one end of the cable. 

I'm sure the pinout is available but if not i could put the multi meter to my KCY cable

the pinout is:

1 = G
2 = r+
3 = r-
4 = L+
5 = L-

timP, neil from the akg actives project here. beware using the MK46 cable. it has an impedance converter built into the base of it. i am assuming that you plan to cut off the pre-amp end so this may be a moot point. PM me please, i would like to see if i can help. i do have appropriate shoeps schemo... i think...

Hi Neil,

I'd love to give this a try. I already have a cut set of mk46 cables that terminate into 1 mini-xlr. this connects to a battery box I bought that has a mini tip out, and it sounds OK, kinds thin.

I have a schoeps extension cables for the KCY with the 5 pin binder. I could ahck that off and use it if I can't find another one elsewhere.
going to email schoeps and posthorn audio and see if they sell the 5 pin separately


either way, I'd love yr hell. I just had the idea that the ck1x caps might work with the lemosax, and if so I'd have both cards and hypers for less then the price of 1 set of schoeps caps ;)


thanks!
Tim

i think a 5pin connector is $35 if i remember correctly.  Redding had them in stock last time i checked, Jerry can have em drop shipped
